"How much will my website cost?" is the first question every founder in Delhi asks — and the most badly answered. Quotes swing from ₹5,000 on Justdial to ₹5 lakh from a slick agency in Gurugram, often for what sounds like the same brief. This guide cuts through the noise with honest 2025 numbers, the line-items that actually move the price, and what you'll pay after the site goes live.

— Website pricing in Delhi (2025)
Website type Price range (INR) Timeline Best for
Basic / Brochure ₹8,000 – ₹25,000 1–2 weeks Local businesses, freelancers, clinics
Business / WordPress ₹25,000 – ₹75,000 2–4 weeks SMEs, B2B services, consultancies
E-commerce / Shopify ₹50,000 – ₹2,50,000 3–6 weeks D2C brands, retailers, exporters
Custom (React / Next.js) ₹1,50,000+ 8–16 weeks SaaS, marketplaces, funded startups
What you're actually paying for

A website quote is rarely one thing. It's a stack of decisions — each one nudging the price up or down. The big five are:

  • Design — template, semi-custom, or fully designed in Figma from scratch.
  • Pages & content — 5 pages vs 25, and who writes the copy.
  • Functionality — contact form vs bookings, payments, dashboards, multilingual.
  • Tech stack — WordPress and Shopify are cheap to build on; custom React/Next.js is not.
  • Who builds it — solo freelancer, boutique studio, or a 50-person agency in Cyber City.
Cost by website type
1. Basic brochure website — ₹8,000 to ₹25,000

Four to six pages — Home, About, Services, Contact, maybe a Gallery. Usually built on a free WordPress theme or a page-builder like Elementor. Good enough for a yoga studio in Rohini or a CA practice in Pitampura that just needs a digital business card.

2. WordPress business website — ₹25,000 to ₹75,000

Premium theme (Astra Pro, Kadence, GeneratePress), 10–20 pages, proper on-page SEO, blog setup, contact integrations, and basic analytics. This is the sweet spot for most Delhi SMEs.

3. E-commerce — ₹50,000 to ₹2,50,000

Shopify or WooCommerce, 50–200 products, Razorpay / Cashfree integration, Delhivery or Shiprocket setup, and a custom-feeling theme. The price climbs with custom collection pages, abandoned-cart flows, and ERP integrations like Zoho or Tally.

4. Custom build — ₹1,50,000 and up

React, Next.js or TanStack Start, a real design system, animations, a CMS like Sanity or Strapi, and often a Node backend. This is what you commission when an off-the-shelf theme can't express the brand.

The cheapest quote is almost never the cheapest project. The line items left out of a ₹10,000 proposal show up six months later as ₹40,000 of fixes.
Hidden & recurring costs no one talks about
  • Domain (.com / .in) — ₹800–₹2,000/year after the first free year.
  • Hosting — ₹3,000/year shared, ₹15,000+/year managed (Cloudways, Rocket.net).
  • SSL — usually free with hosting; ₹2,000–₹8,000/year if not.
  • Premium plugins / theme — ₹5,000–₹20,000 one-time or annual.
  • Stock images / icons — ₹2,000–₹10,000 if you don't have brand visuals.
  • Annual Maintenance (AMC) — ₹6,000–₹30,000/year for updates, backups and edits.
  • GST — 18% on top of everything. Always ask if quotes are inclusive.
Freelancer vs agency vs DIY

Each route has a real trade-off. There's no universal "best".

Freelancer

₹8,000 – ₹50,000

Cheapest, fastest for small jobs. Risk: ghosting, no AMC, single point of failure.

Agency

₹25,000 – ₹5,00,000

Process, design polish, accountability. You pay for the team behind the project.

DIY (Wix / Shopify)

₹2,000 – ₹15,000/year

Lowest cost, fully in your hands. You trade money for your own time and design taste.

Choosing the right partner —7- point checklist
  1. Ask for three live URLs in your industry, not just screenshots.
  2. Get the quote broken into line items — design, dev, content, SEO, AMC.
  3. Confirm who owns the code, domain and hosting at the end of the project.
  4. Ask how revisions work — most agencies include 2 rounds per page.
  5. Check what "launch" includes: SSL, analytics, Search Console, sitemap, basic on-page SEO.
  6. Lock down AMC scope in writing — hours/month, response time, what's out of scope.
